  1. The default colour scheme is okay, but I think it'd be nice to not always have the same person staring out at creation. It just isn't very inspiring.

    The costume randomizing is a good idea, just think different skin colour would go well with that.
  2. Oh, forgot to say this before. Really liking the idea of themed packs instead of straight up costume sets. Tastes like flexible.

    Mr. Tow, I like a lot of what you say but god help me, I wish it wasn't such a time commitment to read it.

    EDIT: scrolled up, saw someone had beaten me to saying this. Sorry for harping on it.

  6. Realizing that turbans were a nebulous sort of clothing item to me (I knew that some people wore it religiously, but also women in the swingin' decades used to wear it as a fashion item), I looked it up. GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE. It is just a religious item for some groups, not every group.

    Actual mythological things: Non-valentine winged sandals, winged helmets, non-valentine togas, moar crowns and tiaras, gem-using stuff for mythological power items of clothing.

    The whole excuse of "But so-and-so could be used in an non-politically correct manner" is getting so old, and possibly preventing so many perfectly valid additions to this game that I am getting completely and utterly sick of it.

    I know you weren't reasoning as such, but I'm sure someone in this thread is bound to.
    Yeah. It's not fair to totally cut off some cultures/ideas just because of the possibility of someone doing something bad. That'd be like denying waterblast to everyone because of the people who've made blood and urine blasters.

    Either that or you are deliberately not including the valid use of a turban that has nothing to do with religion. But you couldn't possibly be disingenuous on the internet. That never happens!
    Also, it was a popular fashion item in the twenties or thirties, I can't remember which.

    If you think that it's all about ruining or destroying the lives of others, Phipps has it covered, or can't do it but does as much as he can.
    He's like the friggin Batman of villains. He's not superpowered (or maybe he is) but uses the appearance of poverty to lure in the weak, helpless, and desperate, and maximize the evil he can do.

    In short, he hits the sweet spot in every single category.
    Westin Phipps could never be given power on a scale of Lord Recluse because he'd USE IT.
    Phipps is so horrible that he's the one arc I refuse to do.

    The penguin, because my bff likes penguins and she hits me if they lose. Also, thank you very much!

  14. Signed because I like outcasts, and I like task forces. It'd be cool redside or blueside, or different versions/stories for both.

    Any chance that the nail-mohawk could be used with Helmets / Half-Helmets? I would love to combine that nail-hawk with the HiTech Helmet, and maybe the hockey mask, too.

    T'would be one of those cases of clipping the item on purpose - and looking at the nails as they are in this preview they may not be long enough. I know I'm asking to put more work on your plate - believe me if I could help I WOULD in a heartbeat - so I understand if this idea of mine doesn't see the light of, um, digital day.

    But, it would be cool to have the option of helmet nail mohawks as well as skull nail mohawks. <grin> Either way, thanks for another stellar set of costume pieces - keep on rocking!
    Oooh yes! A helmet with nails in it would look pretty cool. But if that's extra work you can't spare, that's fine too (uh, not that you needed my consent I just mean EVERYTHING IS OKAY I LOVE YOUR WORK).
  16. You know how the carnival of shadows illusionists have those sort of brocadey patterns on their gowns? Could we get something like that for jackets or tops or skirts and stuff? It'd be good for making an a costume look formal/fancy/magiciany! It's be a great pattern to put on a detail layering over another item.

    That's great! I did succeed though because I was like 'well, MIGHT AS WELL EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO CHANCE OH MY GOD IT WORKED', so I edited that in.
  18. Well, I never succeeded. Oh well. Time to draw hamsters and penguins to cheer up.

    EDIT: STRIKE THAT. I thought I hadn't succeeded 'cause I hadn't been timely for the last one, but I tried a code anyway in a 'may as well' and it worked! \o/

    But the drawing the penguin and hamster fighting was still helpful to my general mood.

    Still really hope they go on sale for other people though!
  19. I got the wisps aura through the original way and I know I wouldn't mind at all if more people got it. More things for more people is my philosophy - nothing is diminished by sharing in my eyes. I like people to have as many tools as they can to create awesome costumes for me to look at.

    I would much like that. There's so many possibilities for it! Especially since I have a few characters of Kirby-ish ilk that'd look great with that around their fists or heads.

    Oh, I would like that very much.

    This makes me sad. I hope they put them up on sale, I'd really like the dots aura, I was just so worried about getting it via the tweet code thing because they might not.

    That wasn't really a straw man so much as an accusation.
